Abstract

The method involves controlling the generation and combination of part color images for register setting so that printing occurs that maintains the register. When a change in toner profile occurs the influence of the toner profile on the register is taken into account directly on implementing the change using existing influencing parameters. Independent claims are also included for the following: an arrangement for implementing the method.
